Never in history has the legal profession seen such a rapid change not only in the technology used in the legal profession – but as an underlying component of nearly every aspect of business and personal life today. Organizations that successfully anticipate new technologies gain a competitive advantage in the market and those that fail often have serious problems. Today legal professionals are looking at new artificial intelligence technologies to read and even create documents. Virtually all legal issues involve collaboration, collection, or preservation of data in these new technologies, ranging from mobile phones to smart watches and even household appliances.

Dan Elam will facilitate a panel of industry experts that focuses on the critical new technologies being used today – and poised to change the industry today.

Government agencies, corporations, and their counsel are creating and implementing compliance programs that can track a wide range of corporate conduct. This developing area of the law lends itself naturally to AI-based technology solutions that are guided by legal counsel. Yet, we must ask: will AI become a reality given the fact that general counsel are still not using those tools broadly?

Our panel of industry and legal experts will debate the issues that surround this emerging technology, and whether AI will be a solution that can address compliance issues.

Three takeaways from this discussion:

• How AI is being deployed by companies to address their compliance needs, and the future state of play.
• How lawyers get comfortable with this technology, and the type of training they need.
• The larger implications for companies using AI to track behavior.
